Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of wireless communication networks and more specifically to the management of neighboring cell lists in heterogeneous wireless communication networks.
- An heterogeneous network corresponds to a network using different technologies to provide connection to the terminals.
- a wireless communication network comprises multiple attachment points providing radio connection to the user terminals.
- Each attachment point covers a defined area also called cell.
- terminals within a cell are connected to the corresponding attachment point.
- a handover process allows to transfer the attachment of the terminal from one attachment point to another corresponding to a new cell.
- a radio scanning needs to be achieved by the terminal in order to determine effectively the neighboring attachment point providing the best radio connection quality.
- Such scanning process can be eased by knowing in advance the existing neighboring attachment points thus allowing to reduce the scanning time and, as a consequence, the time required to produce the handover.
- An idea is therefore to create for each attachment point a neighboring cell list and transmit such list to the terminals connected to said attachment point.
- the normalized type of signal quality measurements differ from one technology to the other such that a global comparison between the connection qualities of the different technologies comprised in the network is not obvious.
- Document EP 0 986 279 A1 discloses dynamically updating neighboring cell lists in a macro/micro cell radio network based on signal quality measurements provided by a mobile terminal.
- the step of analysing statistically the at least one received radio signal quality measurement and the former available measurements corresponding to the cell to which said at least one terminal is connected comprises the following steps:
- said predetermined criteria refer to at least one of or a combination of the following criteria:
- the technical criterion refers to an operator or user policy so that attachment points may be preferred based on their technology.
- the administrative criterion refers to an operator or user policy so that attachment points may be preferred based on their operator.
- said former available measurements comprise measurements sent by terminals and handover data collected by the attachment points.
- said predetermined condition refers to the measured radio signal quality level with respect to a predetermined signal quality threshold.
- said predetermined condition refers to a condition on the difference between the measured radio signal quality level and the corresponding radio signal quality level of the list.
- said radio signal quality measurements are transmitted from the at least one terminal to the core network according to a 802.21 Media Independant Handover (MIH) protocol.
- MIH Media Independant Handover
- the analysis of the received radio signal quality measurements and the update of the neighboring cell list are achieved in a third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) server.
- 3GPP Third Generation Partnership Project
- ANDSF Access Network Discovery and Selection Function
- the present invention also refers to a terminal comprising means to connect to different types of attachment points of an heterogeneous network wherein it also comprises means for:
- heterogeneous network refers to a network comprising different types of structure in order to provide radio connection, for example WIMAX, 3G and LTE structures;
- LTE refers to the acronym Long Term Evolution
- the present invention refers to a dynamic updating of a neighboring cell list in an heterogeneous network.
- Fig.1 represents the different steps of the method according to the present invention.
- the first step 101 corresponds to the creation and the configuration of an heterogeneous neighboring cell list (H-NCL). Said list being divided in as many sub-lists as the number of cells of the network.
- H-NCL heterogeneous neighboring cell list
- the sub-lists are then filled in with the neighboring cells based on the available statistical handover data and/or from former measurements.
- Said creation and configuration of the H-NCL can be achieved, for example, in the core network, in a 3GPP Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) server.
- ANDSF 3GPP Access Network Discovery and Selection Function
- Fig.3 represents an example of heterogeneous neighboring cell list corresponding to a part of the network described in Fig.2 .
- the second step 102 refers to the transmission of said H-NCL to the terminals of the network.
- only the sub-list part of the H-NCL is transmitted to the corresponding attachment points (APs).
- APs attachment points
- the attachment point transmit said H-NCL to the terminals that are connected to it. Such transmission can be achieved just after the connection of a terminal to said AP.
- the third step 103 refers to the scanning of the surroundings. Such scanning is achieved by the terminal when a handover is required.
- the feature triggering a handover process corresponds to a signal power or signal quality being lower than a predefined threshold.
- the terminal has to scan the surroundings to effectively measure signal power levels received from the different APs corresponding to the neighboring cells.
- Each AP emits at a given frequency band also called channel.
- Said channels are comprised within a band defined by the norm corresponding to the technology.
- the scanning process has to cover the frequency bands corresponding to all the normalized bands of the different technologies which may require a large amount of time and leads to handover delays.
- the idea is to use the data provided in the H-NCL to focus in priority the scanning on the registered frequency bands.
- the following step 104 refers to the comparison of the signal quality values with the H-NCL ⁇ values and the selection of relevant measurements.
- H-NCL data are based on statistical measurements achieved previously and do not necessary correspond to the situation of the terminal at the handover instant. Therefore the choice of the new cell selected for the connection is based on the measurements of the scanning.
- the measurements are different than the registered data, for example if the difference in signal quality is higher than a given threshold, the measurement can be selected to be reported to the core network. Indeed, if the signal quality is much lower than the expected value, this can be due to a technical problem that can be analysed by the core network or due to a modification in the network (AP removal/modification).
- the corresponding measurements are also reported to the core network. It has to be noted that the measurements selection described above is necessary in order to limit the amount and the size of signalling messages in the network.
- the selected measurements are transmitted to the core network (step 105) through the serving AP.
- the transmitted measurements are processed and analysed in the core network (step 106).
- harmonizing filters are applied on the signal quality measurements in order to provide a comparison basis for the different types of measurements.
- the signal quality parameter can be a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) or a carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR) as well as a received signal strength indication (RSSI) or any suitable parameter.
- SINR signal to interference plus noise ratio
- CINR carrier to interference plus noise ratio
- RSSI received signal strength indication
- the next step 107 refers to the updating of the H-NCL.
- the attachment point selection may vary depending on the configuration defined by the network. Indeed, the selection may be based only on the signal quality data but may also take into account other features. For example, the network policy may favour the selection of attachment point belonging to a defined operator or using a given technology.
- the terminal user may also decide to be connected in priority or exclusively to a certain type of sub-network. The number of reported measurements, the size of the covering cell or the offered throughput as well as any performance parameters may also influence the selection.
- the updated H-NCL can be transmitted to the different attachment points and consequently to the terminals (step 102).
- the updating of the H-NCL is a permanent and dynamic process which allows to optimize the handover process in heterogeneous networks while limiting the volume of exchanged signalling messages through said networks.
- Each 3G type cell comprises a 3G type attachment point (AP) 1 and each WIMAX type cell comprises a WIMAX type AP 3 also called base station.
- the cell geometry represents the approximate coverage area of the corresponding attachment point.
- the cells may overlap partially or even totally in the case of an heterogeneous network.
- the consequence of such overlapping is the difficulty for a terminal to detect the different possible connections and to choose the optimal solution among the different available possibilities.
- the terminal 5 In order to select the optimal cell for the handover, the terminal 5 has to scan the surroundings. According to the present invention, the terminal 5 uses the H-NCL previously provided by its serving attachment point (AP6 corresponding to cell C6) and represented in Fig.4 . Based on the data of said H-NCL, the terminal will start to scan the provided frequency bands (around 1895 Mhz, 2010 Mhz, 1965 Mhz, 2130 Mhz and 3390Mhz) to check the quality of signal of the corresponding cells.
- AP6 serving attachment point
- the system has the capacity to detect new cells, which were not originally in the H-NCL. For example, in the present situation, new cell C9 is detected by the terminal with a good signal quality.
- the terminal 5 will select the cell offering the best signal quality, C13 for example, and will send a request to the attachment point of its serving cell C6 to transfer the connection (handover process) to the attachment point of cell C13. As the signal quality of the detected cell C9 is good enough, the terminal 5 will also send a report to the core network comprising the measurement of cell C9.
- said report can be transmitted to the core network using a 802.21 media independent handover (MIH) protocol.
- MIH media independent handover
- Fig.5 represents a possible network structure with the WIMAX part 7 and the 3G part 9 of the network.
- the terminal 5 is connected to the attachment point AP6 corresponding to cell C6.
- the report is first transmitted to the serving attachment point AP6 and then transferred to the core network to a network server such as a 3GPP Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) 11 which processes the reported data and updates the H-NCL 13.
- a network server such as a 3GPP Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) 11 which processes the reported data and updates the H-NCL 13.
- 3GPP Access Network Discovery and Selection Function ANDSF
- the updating of the H-NCL 13 may lead to the addition of cell C9 in the H-NCL corresponding to cell C6 as described in Fig.6 .
- many measurements provided by the terminals of the network are taken into account to update the H-NCL 13 and that the selection of the cells added to the H-NCL 13 is based on many criteria.
- the addition of a new cell results from a plurality of reports concerning said cell.
- the new version of the H-NCL 13 is sent back to the corresponding attachment point AP6 such that when a terminal gets connected to cell C6, said terminal receives an updated H-NCL 13 in order to ease its handover to a neighboring cell.
- the present invention proposes a method that allows to dynamically manage and update a neighboring cell list using the measurements achieved during the scanning of a handover process. Moreover, the method may be applied to heterogeneous networks thanks to the use of harmonizing filters and allows to limit the amount and the size of signalling messages being exchanged through the network.
